Days are long, years are short.. I think that’s how it goes.. Well the days are definitely long in my home and some days I’m so lazy!

I basically have to distract them from 6am (yes that is when they get up) – 8/8:30am and then 5 – 9pm (when my oldest goes to bed).  So definitely not that long and I welcome any moms who are with the kids all day long to tell me their secrets!

One thing that is very common in our house is dancing!  Dance Parties!! And I’m not talking about dancing to annoying nursery rhymes or the doo doo do dod ododdodo song (it just gets implanted into my head), this is my music.  I secretly hope that one of my girls will get insane rhythm!!

Whenever asked the question, what would you be if you couldn’t fail, my answer without a doubt or hesitation is: hip hop dancer!  Does anyone follow @universaldanceinc on instagram?? I love dancing, I’m tall and awkward so it never looks quite right when I do it but it’s the best!!

So I won’t be a dance mom but I will encourage my girls to have at least one dance party a day, whether in the car jamming out to a song or “bathroom dance” anytime we walk into a public bathroom!  and then mornings in the kitchen and during our mornings and nights!

If my 3 year old is having a hard time relaxing, turn on Bob Marley and make her take deep breaths.. Or right now she is obsessed with thunder and lightning, so I put on Thunder by Imagine Dragons, it is literally her favorite song!  The newest addition to our fun parties is Taylor Swift – Shake it Off.

Sometimes/All the time you just have to let loose and this is how we do it!  It’s also fun to watch their dancing abilities grow!  Dad joins in too, that is always an extra laugh!
